Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born on the 15th of October in Rocken by Lutzen. He died the 25th of August in Weimar. His legacy is still very much alive and continues to influence modern thinking. Nietzsche features not only in a lot of critical works but can also be found in various other media types ranging from Ps2 games to movies and music..... listen to Also Sprach Zarathustra by Strauss
Nietzsche adresses the issues of the things we are taught to think of as real values. The human can be so much more than he is today. The way theology dictates parts of our daily lives should be removed altogether. All values derived from it should be reconsidered.
He wrote a lot of great works (best read in German) and I will list a few with a short description of what to expect. Also i will add links to various Nietzsche related topics.
Also Sprach Zarathustra - Thus spoke Zarathustra
Das hauptwerk nietzsches von der idee des übermenschen
The dawn of a new race, the race of the supermen. Often people speculate about how Nietzsches works influence Hitler, but considering the fact that Adolf was a devoted Christian he may have gotten his ideas from some other source. Zarathustra/Nietzsche never made any claim that some races could not be Ubermensch. He actually urged everyone to shake of old beliefs and become supermen! The loathing Nietzsche felt for the lower man was more like a combined grand feeling of pity and anger that the stupid majority controls the way of life. The funny thing in the book is that Zarathustra becomes a well-known person in his world and people come to him for guidance and see in him a new leader. Zarathustra never wanted to get such a pseudo-deity-status . This nicely points out the way misguided people tend to follow someone who claims to have or is known to have some otherworldly knowledge. I think that the strongest idea put forward in the book is the fact that Nietzsche in essence sees the human as a strong being as opposed to the church's view. One that is gifted with reason to fight our way to understanding the thing we call life. Advocating common sense should be done and seen more!

Der Antichrist - The antichrist
Fluch uber das christentum - curse on christianity - vloek over het christendom
Nietzsche's adversity towards the jew is merely a discussion of semantics nowadays. The jew he speaks of in his works is not yet the victim of any war and anti-semitism was a generally accepted critical view. Nietzsche holds the jewish religion as the cradle of christianity so the topic naturally needs to be adressed and not omitted as we tend to do these days.
It's hard for a writer to fight the ideas of the majority of the population but nevertheless a thing that needs to be done. After all ..the really excellent genius is always a minority everywhere.
First appeared as Der Antichrist in 1888
I read the dutch edition: "friedrich nietzsche - de antichrist - de arbeiderspers, amsterdam - 1973
I read the german edition: Der Antichrist - Nietzsches Werke band VIII, Schriften aus dem Jahre 1888 - Alfred Kroner Verlag, Leipzig
The Antichrist (Great Books in Philosophy)
How the theologists' blood has poisoned everyday life and philosophy. The world twisted and perverted by religion and we naive and blind going along with it. Wondering why we got stuck with the jewish religion and way of life. Is there a cure for the plague called christianity?
A real must-read!
